Idéal pour :

Conducting detailed and quantitative ergonomic risk assessments.

The Advanced Assessment Tool (Velocity EHS Ergonomics) is commonly utilized in various sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and construction, where human interaction with tools and machinery poses ergonomic risks. It is particularly effective during the design phase of products and workflows, allowing teams to scrutinize and optimize human factors before implementation, which can reduce injury rates and enhance productivity. Participants in using this tool often include safety officers, ergonomists, engineers, and operational managers, who collaborate to identify high-risk jobs through the tool’s detailed analysis of factors like repetitive motion and awkward postures. The quantitative risk scores provided by the tool serve as a benchmark for evaluating the effectiveness of implemented changes over time, making it easier to measure improvements. Moreover, this data-driven approach aids organizations in maintaining compliance with industry-specific ergonomic standards, thereby minimizing liability and enhancing employee well-being. Companies can leverage the insights gained from the tool to foster a culture of continuous improvement and proactive safety management, which can lead to sustainable business practices and a more engaged workforce.
